Amazing Mountain Views. Greens super fast and the thickest rough I’ve seen. Difficult but views and vibes make up for most of that.

Greens were very challenging. Lots of undulations for the speed. Very typical Nicklaus course but in a mountain setting. Really beautiful scenery but it was definitely pricey.

Course is quirky and memorable. Green complexes and bunkers are fun and absurd. Great course to play 1-2 times a year with friends. Well manicured. Friendly staff.

Course is very fun with challenging greens. Definitely a Doak course because there are some holes where if you put in the wrong spot you are totally screwed. Greens rolled really nicely though and the speeds were good. It had a lot of good holes that were fun and interesting.

Tough design with many bunkers with high lips, marshlands, and water. They have a 9,003 ft tee box to hit from that makes your ball fly. There were some dry spots and not even grass in a few places. Fairway and rough wet on every hole.

Fantastic match play course. Lots of half pars. I hope they keep the course firm and fast. Has potential to be awesome. Not an easy walk though

Pole Creek sits in a valley surrounded by mountains all around. Being at elevation, it is technically mountain golf, but being in the valley, there's not as much elevation change per hole as one might expect. I played the Ridge and Ranch nines.

One of the best in Colorado. Has always had great bones, now it’s in better shape. Wish they kept the railroad ties. Would be even higher but it’s too short for being at altitude

Probably my favorite round of golf to date. The final four holes at higher elevation are unlike any other course I’ve played.

Played twice and enjoyed both, but the 140 weekday price felt way more reasonable for thr golf. Lots of elevation change and a stunning last 2 holes.
